During the Aerosol and Dispensing Forum (ADF) 2018, which takes place from 31 January to 1 February at the Porte de Versailles, Paris, Sun Chemical will showcase its portfolio of inks for monobloc, tube and aerosol cans as well as its brand protection solutions for metal packaging.

Eduardo Alegria, global metal deco ink sales director at Sun Chemical, will also be speaking at the conference on Wednesday 31 January. Within the context of the growth in counterfeiting, not only of designer goods but also of industrial materials and low cost toiletries, Alegria’s presentation, “Counterfeiting and How to Prevent It from a Packaging Perspective” will examine the potential risks and costs to brand owners and show how Sun Chemical actively works to develop countermeasures to counterfeiting in metal aerosols, both steel and aluminium.

Sun Chemical will showcase its SunAltec and SunTrio product families on its stand S10 and visitors can find out about the company’s knowledge and capabilities in metal decoration through its specialised ink solutions, including special effects, brand protection, brand colour management and print standardisation.

The MB Plus Series, part of the SunAltec product family, will also be on display. The series has been specifically designed for the application on monobloc aerosols and uses an alkyd-based ink system, which has been modified for optimum performance on new generation production lines utilising today’s basecoat technology.

Thanks to Sun Chemical’s partnership with Document Security Solutions (DSS) to cross market and sell one another’s high-level anti-counterfeiting products, stand visitors will also learn how AuthentiGuard can help brand owners, supply chain personnel and consumers to validate product authenticity using a smartphone.
